[gentoo-user] Setting up a remote mailhost

2003-07-06 Thread Lincoln A. Baxter 
Hi all,

I want to be about to send mail from a gentoo box that does not
have an MTA running on it.

Does anyone know how to setup a gentoo box, so that
mailx will send to a remote MAILHOST.  I.E, on another box?

I know this is possible on other various unixes, and I presume it is
possible on gentoo, I just can not figure out how to do it.

Thanks,

Lincoln

You want to install ssmtp

# emerge net-mail/ssmtp

Then edit /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf to reflect your needs.
